Many of you know that Chris Owen and I recently requested the return of our rights from Torquere Press for non-payment and breach of contract. I am happy to report that, as of this writing, Chris and I are now working on republishing the Deviations Series. I’ve started the conversation on Twitter – please drop by and join in!

As I reread the books, as I’m being pulled back into Tobias & Noah’s universe, I’m reminded of the love and respect that I have for these characters. Oh, yes, they’re hot. But they’re truthful, they’re caring, and they’re sincere in their needs. Tobias knows the weight of his responsibilities as Dom – he knows what he holds in hands (literally and figuratively). Noah is well aware of the power inherent in his submission. Chris and I set out to create characters that wanted more than kink – characters that wanted (needed?) to live the lifestyle 24/7. Not one night game, not weekend “second lives”, not a fantasy. Real life — real limitations, real struggles, real issues. Perfect and imperfect. Constantly learning, evolving, never fully satisfied.

And I love that the people they have around them — Bradford and Phan for example — are more than just secondary characters – they have full lives of their own.

I can’t wait to see these books available again, to have these conversations and hear your thoughts. More information as soon as we have it!
